Counseling is a dynamic, creative response to living. We seek relatedness with another person as a response to pain and loss or the longing for joy. Whether you're nursing a faint voice of hope for change or anger for something different, we can explore together in an experimental way. Bring your experience, trauma, limitations, stories and dreams and we will sort them together and experience new possibilities. Stephen has completed an MA in Counseling at Regis University. Has training with Boulder Psychotherapy Institute and in Somatic Experiencing. Stephen has a passion and aptitude for group work.

I specialize in somatically oriented depth psychotherapy, dreamwork and creative processing. I work with individuals and also offer supervision. I most enjoy working with people who are looking to empower and express themselves more fully and from a place of soulful authenticity.

This process often involves exploring feelings of shame and self judgment, anxieties, old messages and old loyalties that hinder self worth and self love. I work to offer a therapeutic container that feels safe and reliable and offer co-regulation within that container so that change does not feel overwhelming.

With couples, I most enjoy working with people who are navigating non-traditional relationship contexts as well as those couples who are seeking to reinvigorate feelings of freedom and compassion in their relationship.

"I believe that therapy is a natural extension of activism. As a therapist-activist my goal is to collaborate with each individual on how best to help you shed the shame and step into your full present-centered power. No matter if you're still dealing with flashbacks or identity threat every day or are symptomatically stable and ready to take the next step in your post-healing journey."
